The Indians GM seems to have disappeared. I don't think he has been checking/intended to sign that many FA. His salary is now going to be 104M.

i believe the indians signed 11 pitchers, including 8 relievers (3 closers).
at least their bullpen will be sound.

He has taken on 76M in FA salary and he has to keep them till August! I never thought 80M in cash could disappear so quickly.

I forgot I had an offer out on park and was debating pulling the offer on giles. Maxed out my payroll with trades, so it looks like unless I figure out how to cut some salary I may lose money this year with that additional 8.5M.

The Indian's GM has not been on in the past 6 days and this week is one of the most important of the season. Does anyone know what is going on with him? Should we consider a replacement? In just a few days he has pretty much run his entire organization into the ground.

he can easily trade out of it. vernon isn't active in general because he works bad hours, but he's done a decent job keeping up with his team so far.

No way he signed those guys for a year or two. I agree with aaron he can get out of it.

Yes but he cannot immediately trade out of it, he has to keep all of his FA until July 1st, paying at the least half their contracts. If he were to trade off every FA he acquired (he still has two other offers pending), at the least he would have to pay around 40M.

I'm guessing after the other FA snafu we had they're following a schedule to make sure everyone gets everything exported. Exactly. After last time, we are going to stick to the schedule, no questions asked. I don't even wanna hear about speeding up, lol.
